To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that l, hlaovn KATO, a citizen of the Empire of Japan, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State'of New York, have invented new and useful limprovements in-Fountain-Brushes, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates to improvements in fountain brushes and relates more particularly to a brush which is adapted to contain cream or a thick fluid. Y

The principal object of the invention is the provision of a brush which is provided with a follower member actuated by means of a threaded rod extended into the same and co-acting therewith, said rod carrying at its free end an agitating device which tends to thoroughly mix the contents of the brush and conduct the same through perforations provided in the head to the bristles.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of the class described which operates to prevent clogging of the perforations by the action of the air on the contents.

it further object of the inventionis the provision of an article of the classdescribed which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture and which overcomes many of the objections to brushes of this clms,

Another object of the invention is the provision of an agitating device carried by the follower rojd which is provided with means for positioning-the latter with relation to the head of the brush.

With these and other objects in view the invention resides ,in the'novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts fully described and pointed out inthe follow' description and claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1, is a side elevation. v ltig. 2, is a longitudinal section. M vlllig. 3, is a cross section on the line 3-3, of-lt ig. 2. li ig. 1, is a similar view on the line 4L-4l, of ltig.

Fig. 5, is a perspective view of the agitating element carried by the follower rod.

' presence of the bristles.

lfteferring to the drawings 10 designates a hollow tubular handle which is closed at one end and provided at its outer end with a removable head 11, the latter being provided with a nozzle 12 havin perforations 13 arranged in its end. Bristles 14:, are secured to the head and surround the nozzle 12, whereby the contents of the handlemay be readily applied thereto. it threaded rod 15 passes eccentricallythrough the closed end ing in the follower mem or 16. lln order to advance the follower within the handle 1 provide a manipulating disk 17 which is secured to an extension 18 of the rod, said extension projecting through the closed end of the handle as shown. lhe free extremity of also tends to conduct the same into the it will be understood that due to the rod 15 being eccentrically positioned with relation to the cylinder the follower member will be prevented from turning therewith.

While 1 have shown and described a simple and preferred form of the invention, ll desire to reserve the right to make such changes and alterations as fall within the see c of the appended claim.

What claim is:

'A fountain brush comprising a cylindrical casing closed at one end and having its other end open, a cap disposed upon the open end of said casing and forming a closure therefor, a reducedextension on said cap con stituting a nozzle and having its on porofthe handle, and engages. a threaded opencontents as it is forced into the head and dill tit

tion perforated, bristle tufts carried by said ldtll posed Within said casing, means for rotating said nod, a follower member disposed within said casing and actuated 'by said rod, and a fiat plate carried by the inner end of said rod and'provided with a plurality of perforations, a portion of said plate beingof a size to engage the inner Wall of said cyhndrical casing and a reduced extension on said plate conforlningly engaging within said nozzle and bearing against the side and 10 end thereof.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
